portuguese practice FVArquitectos expanded the R.T.P. television studio complex located in lisbon, portugal. the contemporary design provides continuity between a range of represented architectural eras with the addition of unornamented structures and a physical link to the existing studio spaces. the connection is revealed by the sloping terrain of the site while providing a usable rambling green space on its roof. this exterior courtyard gradually fuses the city's vegetated and urban areas to serve as an ideal gathering space for employees within the complex.

ceramic frit forms assorted white vertical striations

administrative services located within the dominant glass form are protected from direct light with a white ceramic frit pattern. the deviating vertical striations contrast the adjacent monolithic concrete volumes. these contain the studio spaces, providing minimal sound interference due to the limited penetrations scattered throughout the facade. a majority of the interior program space is situated underground to control acoustic issues efficiently and effectively.
